Sacred Heart church hosts public rosary

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church will host a Public Square Rosary Rally at noon Oct. 13 at the Lavaca County Courthouse Square in Hallettsville.

As the world situation comes increasingly threatening, the idea of holding a rosary in a public place has become more popular. As human efforts fail to solve our growing economic; social, moral and spiritual troubles, more people are turning to the supernatural solutions the Fatima message of prayer and penance, and the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, according to a news release from Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

The public Square Rosary Crusade has grown ever since 2007, when there were 2,107 rallies. Last year, there were 7,515 in the United States and 22 other countries.

This Public Square Rosary, sponsored by America Needs Fatima, will be one of more than 8,000 rallies that will take place across the United States on the same day.
